A truly unique experience when you get a full fresh tuna to enjoy: all tuna series Nr. 13 – Bluefin & Champagne @ Restaurant Sala of Tokyo (31. August 2023)
Taking about a unique experience when it comes to tuna, then you definitely have to try the “all tuna series” in the Sala of Tokyo! It’s an event, which happens once a year, and only has space for a limited number of people – and I get why. Firstly, the price is rather heavy – […]
Generally, a lovely place with some logistical issues: Restaurant Enja (31. August 2023)
Let’s put it that way – the service quality at Enja varies quite a bit. While I’ve had quite amazing experiences here for dinner, I had not so amazing experiences here for lunch. It seems like they are a bit less coordinated at lunch. I had scheduled a lunch meeting, and it turned out that […]
A lovely place with decent food and super friendly service: Restaurant Brasserie Freilager (25. August 2023)
The Brasserie Freilager remains one of my favourite restaurants in Zurich, since it really offers good food for fair prices in a nice environment. Once you’re seated, you get some “bread with spread”, which is actually quite nice and enjoyable. As a starter, I wanted something light, so I went for the “crab cocktail with […]
A lovely terrace restaurant well-hidden in a mall: Restaurant Sopra (25. August 2023)
I haven’t heard about the Sopra before, but given it showed up on Google Maps as quite a good restaurant, I decided to give it a try. And it’s quite well hidden on the rooftop of the Jelmoli mall. However, if you walk through all the different stores and finally find the entrance to the […]
A delicious dinner offering with attentive and friendly service: Restaurant Natürlich (24. August 2023)
Given it was quite late already for dinner, and I was somewhat hungry still, I decided to go for Natürlich since it had a relatively good rating. Once you’re seated, you’re brought some “bread and butter” and I must say the focaccia was great, and the butter was nice too. As a first starter, I […]
A nice location, but lack of flavour when it comes to meat: Restaurant Les Sales Gosses (24. August 2023)
The Les Sales Gosses has a nice little terrace with high tables where you can comfortably sit outside when the weather is nice. If it’s too hot, as it was that day, it becomes a bit tricky, though, to sit outside. I went for the “tagliata de boeuf (faux-filet tranché, roquette, Grana Padano et antipasti […]
Excellent service, but relatively disappointing breakfast options: Restaurant Glowing @ Hotel President Wilson, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Geneva (24. August 2023)
It is years ago since I’ve last stayed at the Hotel President Wilson and I did not really remember how the breakfast buffet was, so I was curious to try it again. It has quite a nice selection ranging from savoury elements … … to yogurt and fruit … … salmon and curd … … […]
Exquisite dishes, an even better wine selection and excellent service: Restaurant Silex (21. August 2023)
I’ve only been twice to the Silex so far, and I must admit that it is a place I can absolutely recommend. To get started, I had ordered “sourdough bread with cultivated butter” (CHF 7.00), which felt a bit expensive for bread and butter, but both were wonderful, so it was fine. Although it sounded […]
